The aim of this stage is to convert the space currently occupied by the Balwyn Park Tennis Club back into useable parkland and to reduce vehicle access into the park, while increasing pedestrian access around the park.

This will be achieved by:

demolishing the tennis clubhouse and courts (once the tennis club is moved from its current location)

opening up the eastern portion of the park to create a community space for informal sport and play (netball and basketball half courts, rebound wall, outdoor table tennis and soccer tables, outdoor gym and parkour equipment)

incorporating shade trees, seating, picnic tables, a BBQ and shelters

upgrading cricket training nets and increasing the number from 2 to 3

completing the pedestrian promenade around the oval edge and the circuit path around the park.

converting the central internal road into a shared vehicular and pedestrian zone

converting the northern internal road into a pedestrian promenade with service and emergency vehicle access only

providing a toilet facility

providing improved access, seating and shelter to the southern oval

upgrading the 90 degree parking along the side of the park in Cherry Road.

We will also explore:

opportunities to incorporate acoustic measures and sound-reducing surface treatments to reduce noise from the basketball half-court to proceed with this facility
